Hi Blade! You don't find items at certain places, item drops are random according to a system where a monster with a high level enough can drop items with a high level. Lightsabre is an elite unique sword, and that means many of the monsters at Hell difficulty can dropt it. Baal and Diablo has the highest chance of dropping it, but all Superuniques can drop it.

It is very difficult to say what armour and weapons are the best, it is really totally dependant on your class, subclass and your playing style. If you tell me what class you prefer to play and what skill you like to use, I could give some more advice. In general though, you get the best items from the superunique monsters at Hell difficulty. Some good weapons can also be bought, you should look for magical (blue) swords, axes etc with the prefix "cruel" and the suffix "of evisceration" in the shops, those mods give a lot of enhanced damage!

Apart from finding a magical sword with perfect mods as I descibed above, the best weapon for a sword barb would IMO be The Grandfather, with Doombringer as second. Both are extremely difficult to find.

For armour I'm not sure since there are so many new armours now with the 1.10 patch, but Tyrael's might looks fab. The stats:

Requirements -100%
+(120-150)% Enhanced Defense
Slain Monsters Rest in Peace
+(50-100)% Damage to Demons
Cannot be Frozen
20% Faster Run/Walk
All Resistances +(20-30)
+(20-30) to Strength

Not too bad

You can expect to wait for a looong time. They are really rare items, but they are also some of the best in the game...

The problem with Tyrael's Might is you can only get on Ladder Games. Not available in solo. Only way to have it on battle.net non-ladder, is to play a ladder game, get lucky and get Tyrael's Might, and when the ladder season is over, it is said that your ladder character can then be used on the battle.net realms with everything you found in the ladder season. The Gladiator's Bane is good as well. Here are the stats:

Defense: 1255-1496 (varies)(Base Defense: 375-481)
Required Level: 85
Required Strength: 111
Durability: 135
+150-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+50 Defense
Cannot Be Frozen
30% Faster Hit Recovery
Poison Length Reduced By 50%
Attacker Takes Damage Of 20
Damage Reduced By 15-20 (varies)
Magic Damage Reduced By 15-20 (varies)

The biggest problem is the level requirement. But for overall defense, low strength requirement, damage and magic reduction, and the fact that you cannot be frozen, pretty good.
